100% correct. One time on "The Price is Right" a contestant stated the exact bid to Bob Barker for a prize after gaining the initial getting up on stage. He said to Bob he knew the exact price, because the exact same item was presented on the show a couple of weeks back. Sure enough that is what happened. Bob enjoyed it, as the contestant was right. What is a person suppose to do, never have watched the show and not understand anything about it? Apparently those same game show producers and hosts don't like it when contestants use their analytical skills of their brain.

They weren't called cheaters. The video says they were initially suspected of it until it was found that they hadn't. They were never penalised for precisely this reason. This video doesn't report cheaters solely. It reports all different scandals. It was one at the time because it was so unbelievable.

So the couple who lose $800,000 on Million Dollar Money Drop were found to actually have the correct answer, so the producers of the show invited them to play again? The fuck?

I can compare a game show to a football game. I just did it. They are both forms of organized games with a system in place to rectify errors made by judges/refs. The one they use for football is good, and the one they used for Million Dollar Money Drop was bullshit. But if you really need a closer comparison, how about Jeopardy? If an answer is initially ruled wrong on that show but the judges late declare it right, the contestant is awarded the fucking money.

Preparing isn't cheating. Does the public complain when people practice and study patterns for Rubix cube competitions or puzzle competitions or chess matches? Why should people get angry if a contestant on a game/quiz show studied the patterns used in a game/quiz show to win? They probably spent a lot of their own time preparing and practicing for going the game/quiz show to win. EDIT: Thanks for putting it into perspective for me and explaining it more in detail :D

@wunnell 4 жыл бұрын

Because it goes against the intent of the show. There is the letter of the law and the spirit of the law and different people will tell you that a different one is more important in different situations. If one person studies the pattern of something that is intended to be random then it means that everyone has to in order to be able to win and then it becomes a different game altogether. It isn't cheating because it's not against the "letter of the law", which is why he could keep his money, but it goes against what the game was intended to be. These days, it would be much easier to implement a more random pattern for such a game but not so much back then.

+Luke Newman It's heavily implied that if you are doing something correct in a game show, you will gain something out of it. The show had the incorrect answer due to sloppy research and the fault lies with them. So the contestant should not lose over this. Otherwise any game show could just do the same. They could simply ask a simple question and pick the wrong answer on purpose as the "correct" answer. Then when the contestant answers right, they'll lose. They were invited back and would have to start all over. What should've been done is to reinstate them at the same point in the contest with the money and the right answer for the question the "lost" at.

@@51dani Jeopardy allows contestants to misspell words as long as it doesn't change the pronunciation. Emanciptation shouldn't count, it wasn't just misspelled, it changed the word by adding the first T. Had the kid spelled it emancipayshun, he would have got the answer right. This seems fairly basic. The irony is that it wouldn't have mattered. The kid still would have come in 2nd place had they given him the answer, a point nobody outraged by this one seems to understand.

Number 1 wasn't a cheat, he just had a great memory and was dedicated enough to put the time in. It's like when casinos call card counters cheats; no they aren't, they have simply learned to play the game better than anyone else. Cheating should be defined as using tools that are not available to anybody else and do not belong in the game. Your memory should never fall under that category.

@gametips8339 5 жыл бұрын

Card counting is cheating. You are not supposed to know the changing ods as the deck progresses. That is not the part of the game. Ideally you want to reshuffle the deck after each game to avoid that. But that ads time and complicates things. Its best if everyone is civil and just don't use card counting instead. Nova days this is solved by dealers having multiple decks for example and using automatic reshuffles which makes it impossible to card count.

@magicmulder 5 жыл бұрын

> You are not supposed to know the changing ods as the deck progresses. Then whoever organizes the game should take appropriate measures. That's like claiming a soccer team that has won the first leg 3:0 should not be allowed to play defensively when the score in the second leg is 0:2 (because they know they are winning on aggregate). Well, if that is the intention, don't allow any player who participated in the first leg to play in the second, duh.

What makes it worse is the Chashers that seem to know more or less depending how much money is on offer, I feel they already have been given the answers because they walk out and back on Stage with each contestant, in other words, they have a chance backstage to memorise the question that are on there way. Another indication that the show is rigged is that some of thoes chashers went onto the American version of the show and to say they did poorly on the questions is laughable at best and insulting at worse, so they should rename the show as the Cheat not the Chase lol. Oh and another little thing I've noticed is how Bradley, the host speeds up or slows down saying the questions depending if he's asking the contestent or the chasher and depending how much money could be won.

Did anyone else notice on the Jeopardy, Trebek said "You put a 'P' in there"? Bro, there is supposed to be a P. Maybe you should host it since you can't spell either.

The fact that the couple got the answer right and still didn’t get the money is outrageous. I think they could get away with suing Million Dollar Money Drop

You guy were wrong about the price is right (#10). There's even a netflix documentary about that day. Someone else gave him the bid, not his wife. They just took credit for it and dismissed the guy helping them.

It was fair game, as there was evidently nothing in the rules against it. He was smart enough to memorize the patterns and won big. After the show found out they changed to board to be truly random. The show learned their lesson. The contestant did nothing wrong. The other 2 contestants could've done the same thing.

Emancipation (Emanciptation) "spelled it badly" ?? "Put a "P" in there" ?? So the 35 year veteran host gets to misspeak but a 14 year old kid can't misspell by one letter (t)?

@codylemasters6746 6 жыл бұрын

i agree with you completely, i would have spelled it wrong too, and I'm 18, its also hard to write on a screen like that quickly, i think he should have gotten it, they could easily see it was the right word, they were just being a jerk.

I can't even finish this video, I can't get past the part where they insult the kids spelling. That is such a horrible thing to do to a kid. I understand the southerner; if people can learn English as a second language than people speaking it all their lives should be able to speak English as a first language. I would have made the southerner walk through town ringing a shame bell but picking on a kid is just inhuman.

*Look, I know why you think it was unfair...BUT THEY HAD TO RULE IT WRONG, BECAUSE THE MISSPELLING CHANGED THE PRONUNCIATION. Misspellings they can let slide, but if the misspelling CHANGES the pronunciation, and adds or deletes a syllable, THEY HAVE TO COUNT IT WRONG. SORRY.*

Lie detectors (or polygraph as it's correctly called) aren't bullshit, they just are nowhere near as accurate as some people suggest (70-90% is a figure I've seen mentioned), which is why they are not admissible as evidence in court. The results can also be affected by drugs, alcohol and certain medical conditions. The reason it's not properly called a lie detector is because it doesn't detect lies, it just measures certain physiological functions and relies on a person to interpret the measurements and make an assessment of whether a lie is being told or not.

#9 still gets me heated when I think about it. If speaking in the "vernacular" makes a guess invalid, then there shouldn't be any puzzles where speaking with an accent that qualifies as "vernacular" would make a difference. A person isn't going to change their accent just to say a sentence, especially when they're not aware of the ruling that makes certain accents basically illegal in the game's terms. One of the dumbest rulings ever. It basically means that if you have an accent that causes you to not pronounce every letter in every word, you shouldn't even bother trying to get on the show. Way to show what kind of people you prefer to be on TV, Pat.

@codylemasters6746 6 жыл бұрын

i totally agree, you could easily see that she was saying the right word, even if you didn't have an accent, when your in front of the public view, and you have a time limit, you're first thing isn't to think if you're saying it right, you try to answer as quickly as possible, it was a really lousy thing to do!

@TheJaggedCarpet 6 жыл бұрын

I agree with their ruling. Contestants are told to say the words slowly and precisely, and she left out a letter at the end. It doesn't matter if she has an accent, she still left out a letter. I'm glad they stuck to their ruling.

@sakuraogami6885 6 жыл бұрын

@csilabillabilla 6 жыл бұрын

"Leaving out a letter'' is a bogus argument. Does anyone pronounce the h in "she"? No. We still know it's spelled like that, though. Words have (usually) one written form, and one or more standard pronounced forms. But they also have alternative pronounced forms (such as the ones used in different accents). She used an alternative form, and unless the rules specifically state that you have to use General American or Received Pronunciation or whatever, she had every right to do so (plus even that alternative form is not wildly different from the standard one). And let's face it, we all knew what she was referring to. There was literally no ambiguity, especially since the G was written on the board. (It just sort of makes me think that this is exactly like if you'd penalize a British person speaking RP, because they said the modal verb "can" the way they say it, rather than the American way, because that should be spelled "khan" or something in American, so they got it wrong.)

@killerb255 6 жыл бұрын

Yes, they do. It's called a consonant digraph. The s and h put together make a different sound than, say, an s and a k, where both the s and the k are pronounced (that being a consonant cluster). This isn't the first time this happened on Wheel of Fortune. Search for David Duchovny and Tea Leone Wheel of Fortune.
